Prótesis personalizada Cinderella (cenicienta)

thingiverse

Prosthetic element designed for a seven year old girl. The objective was to develop a design that was attractive for the beneficiary, so you decide to take inspiration from a children's tale. Creating prosthetic elements that at the same time simulate a toy allows children to adapt more easily which generates progress in their ergonomic skills. In the case of the beneficiary of this prosthesis, it was also possible for her to have more self-confidence and to develop better in her social environment. The fingers are printed on Flexy material, hand, forearm, arm and other parts in PLA material. Once the prints are manufactured, a thermoforming process is required. Heat the parts with a hot air gun to shape the flat parts corresponding to the arms. The basic models that inspired this creation were: 1) Flexy of Jaime Galindo 2) Flexy_Hand 2 of Steve Wood (Gyrobot) 3) Arm RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology). This prosthetic solution can only be adapted in a child older than 3 years or adult under the advice of a health professional, therapist, physiotherapist, physiatrist and with the collaboration of a professional in psychology. Please read carefully first the manual of safety and use of this prosthetic solution. Cinderella Flexi Arm II Prosthesis is a project designed and elaborated by the plastic artist Wilmer A. García P. and directed by the Mechatronic Engineer Cristian Silva. Model based on Jaime Galindo's Flexy arm, Steve Wood's Flexy_Hand 2 (Gyrobot), the RIT arm (Rochester Institute of Technology).
